I wonder if I tore my ligament on my tail bone during a bicycle ride last Sunday as after that when I sit down and get up, that part hurts. I m female, aged 58 years and recently took up biking after stopped riding since childhood. The first time was fine but this 2nd one gave this problem. Thanks a lot!

HI
Welcome to Healthcare magic forum
If the pain is severe, visit a orthopedician for an examination.
If its mild or has reduced since y'day , you can just take some rest, hot fomentation & pain killer med for pain relief, gentle massage is also helpful.Avoid bending, lifting and exertion for a week atleast.
Homeopathic med RHUS TOX 1 M * one dose, will be useful.
Next time when you do an exercise/acitivity, do little at a time, and increase it gradually.
Also , since you are 58, some routine tests and a bone density chk will be a good idea.
Takecare.
